From Jan 1973 to Dec 1974, Young missed 64 of 1,078 roll call votes, which is 5.9%. This is better than the median of 9.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 1974. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
